Hello Everyone!A very Happy Mother's Day to all the lovely Mums out there! Jane here today and I am sharing the card I made for lovely niece who turned 18 a few days ago. I used the very glamorous 'Posh has a Present' image from Stamping Bella as the image on my card and coloured it in with Promarkers and paper pieced her dress and bag.

The papers I have used are by Echo Park and are from the 'Splendid Sunshine' Pad. I layered them all onto bright pink card and added stitching around the edges. The skinny pink ribbon is a very old one from my stash I bought from Create and Craft when I first started cardmaking. I used 'A La Modes Big Birthday numbers for the 18, cutting them out when I had stamped them onto pink paper. The sentiment is a matching one from the set.

Here is a close up of the image. I love paper piecing the Stamping Bella images and giving them pretty patterned dresses. I finished the card with some flowers from my stash and some stick on gems.

Well I am here today with my inspiration card not on my normal Monday as I know I am a few days late with this, but lets just say - the first card I made had an argument with a Cup of Tea and the second attempt fell foul to an overactive Ink Pad lol. So this my 3rd attempt finally got made but by then my turn had passed so I waited until today for a free slot to post.

Good morning dearies....Thanks for popping over and joining me today.... I am sharing my "animal" themed card for this week, and I have plumped for the ever lovable "I heart Chester" from Miss Muffet stamps....So, to shake things up a bit, I have cut an A5 card in half to create a mini masterpiece..... I know, shock ,horror.... I make 6x6 cards as a way of life...lol!!

I have coloured him with my Spectrums, and used up some scrap of DP that is in my huge pile of "bits" I have used my Die-namics scallop edge die to cut out some chocolate cardstock, and then I ran this through my "Wood" effect embossing folder... I used my fishtail flags die to cur out a banner in the flip side of the paper scrap, and added a die cut "Hello" from chocolate CS again , using my Paper Smooches "Hello" die set... I popped on a button to finish.... Hey presto!!! what a quick make... I must try this size card more often!!!There's loads more inspiration to be had right here on the MMCS blog... so, keep popping in.... and check out the baskets of gorgeous goodies you can by at the shop!!! See you soon! Hugs xxx

Hello Everyone! Jane here today and I am sharing the card I have made for our Animals themed week this week on the My Mum's Craft Shop blog. I have used one of the new Creative Expressions Animal Stamps on my card. This one is 'Mr Fox' and he is available here.

I coloured him in using Graph'it Markers and Promarkers and cut him out before adding him to my card. The papers I have used are from the My Mind's Eye 'Record it Pretty Things' pad. They are gorgeous! I also added some flowers, a linen ribbon and a lovely little heart button.

Here is a close up of Mr Fox, I think he is really fantastic and I will be treating myself to more stamps from this range soon as he was so lovely to colour. I hope you have a lovely Sunday!

It's Natalie here again today and you may have already guessed by now that I have taken a liking to the Stamping Bella Uptown Girls range. Well today is no exception! lol I have used it alongside a sentiment stamp from an old Penny Black set which I thought fit perfectly!

The pinks and lime greens match perfectly with Everyday Eclectic from Echo Park, so I teamed the image up with those papers, matting stuff onto Blushing Bride from SU!

I added a sentiment using a Lawn Fawn alpha stamps, and embossed it with clear embossing powder. LOVE how that looks. :) I used a MFT Pierced Tags STAX dies to cut that out and I adhered it at a jaunty angle (that's two this week, what's wrong with me?! LOL!!).

I added a little pink button, and a pink gem dot, and a couple Hobby House pearl brads. Then I dug my charms out, as I haven't used any for ages. I came across this little comb from Marianne - I think - so I attached that with some pink bakers twine from Doodlebug. Some standard Liquid Pearls and Stickles and it was a good'n.

She has been coloured up with my spectrum markers, and I have added the teeniest bit of Stardust pen...I have teamed her up with some yummy purple/lilac shades, seam binding, lace flowers and pearls .Theres lots more inspiration to be had everyday here on the MMCs blog, and tomorrow's card from Lou Mac will blow your socks off!Don't miss it...Thanks for taking the time to visit....

I teamed this sassy little sweetie with some gorgeous papers from Echo Park - Splendid Sunshine - OMG these papers are so gorgeous and such a fabulous selection of prints and colours in it. The fabulous sentiment comes with the image and I made the cute little flowers using the MFT Dienamics Blueprints 12 Die. I finished off the card with just a couple of little Striped Candy Dots and a few gems.

Thanks so much for joining me here today, please do pop back throughout the week to check out the fabulous creations from my team mates.

Hello Everyone! I hope you are all well and having a good Weekend. We are having some beautiful weather here at the moment and I am hoping to get out in the Sunshine today. It's Jane here today and I have been playing with lots of my new stash from My Mum's Craft Shop for my card. I am totally in love with all the new papers which have arrived recently and I absolutely adore the Wild Rose Studio panels I have used for my image.

I used papers from the Carta Bella 'Sew Lovely' and the My Mind's Eye Record it 'Pretty Things' pads. I added my usual stitching around all the edges. The papers match the image so well! The sentiment which I added to a Melissa Frances frame is an older one from my stash.

Here is a little close up of the image, Emily is adorable and her little cat is so cute! I can't wait to play with the other images in the pack. I hope you have a lovely Sunday.

Hell, Kitty here, today i have my usual weekly creation that i have made as part of the my DT duties for My Mums Craft Shop. This week our theme was flowers so i whipped up a tag using the fabulous Jofy Stamps....

For this tag i used the Jofy 7 Stencil, Jofy Mini 33 & Jofy Mini 40.
I used lots of Fresco Paints and i used my fine line black to draw
around some of the flowers and the edge around the tag to make it more
defined.

I used some gorgeous yellow, sunshiney paper from My Minds Eye Mildred 6x6 pack. LOVE me some diagonal stripes. I wanted to keep this card pretty simple so I let the main panel with all of the stamping and embossing speak for itself - no fancy embellishments this time round.

Be sure to stop by the blog every day this week and drink up the inspiration from our amazing DT! They blow me away every single time with their creations.

Lyndsey here running a little late with my regular Monday posting. This week our theme is flowers and I so I took it literally and used this gorgeous floral image from Mama Elephant - one of new range of stamps available in store now.

The stamp is from the Water Blooms Set and I stamped it firstly in green then re-stamped onto a spare piece of card in yellow and decoupaged the flowers up on top. The gorgeous papers are from the new MME pads Now & Then Milo and I added a couple of embellies to finish from the £1 embellishment range - Wooden Heart & Striped Candy Dot.

Thanks for joining me here today, please do pop back throughout the week to check out my team mates creations.

Hello Everyone! Jane here today and I am kicking off a 'Flowers' themed week on the My Mum's Craft Shop blog today. We have been lucky to have some lovely sunshine here this weekend, the daffodils are blooming and Spring is definitely on it's way. To celebrate the lovely weather, I have made a card using some of the lovely new goodies which have arrived recently at My Mum's Craft Shop.

The papers I have used are from the Echo Park 'Splendid Sunshine' pad which is available here. They match the Hobby House 'Summertime' pre-coloured topper so well! I added a sentiment from Paper Smooches 'Scripty Sayings' set which I stamped straight on to the backing papers.

I added a beautiful stitched edge ribbon and lots of paper flowers around the image and finished with a lovely big button tied with twine and a couple of stick on pearls. I hope you have a lovely Sunday.
Jane
